3.0 BEARING BLOCK LINK AND PIN ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO
OFFSHORE YOKE INSTALLATION
NOTE: Preparation of the Bearing Block Link and Pin assemblies can be executed in the
ship yard prior to transfer of the tower structure offshore if desired. If this section of the
procedure is conducted prior to arriving offshore it is imperative that all loose components
(Pins, Caps, Fasteners, Installation Aids, and rigging) are correctly stored for transit
offshore to prevent loss of or damage to any of the associated components and equipment.
1. Remove cap screws (3214-DG-01-01, Item 11) connecting the Links (3214-DG-01-01,
Item 03 and 04) and Bearing Block Caps (3214-DG-01-01, Items 01 and 02).
2. Remove Pins (3214-DG-01-01, Item 07) furthest from the center of Turntable. Do this
by using the Caps (3214-DG-01-01, Item 06) or similar plate to react against the
Support Tray (1601-02-01, Item 02), and the Installation Rod (1601-02-01, Item 01) as a
jackscrew to remove the Pins from the Links. Use the Support Tray to support the Pin
on disassembly.
3. Rotate the Link 90 to the vertical position and insert the M36 cap screw (1601-DG-02-
01, Item 05) to temporarily hold the link in the vertical position for removal of the caps.
4. Remove the Bearing Block Caps using M36 eyebolts (1601-DG-02-01, Item 08). Parts
should be set aside in a secure location until final assembly. The Blocks are now ready
for Yoke Installation.

1603-OM-0370
OFFSHORE YOKE HEAD ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 5 REVISION A
4.0 OFFSHORE YOKE HEAD INSTALLATION
1. Ensure that the Bearing Block Caps are removed. See Section 3.0. In order to use the
links as guides for the Yoke Head, timbers should be placed between the center plate
on the link and the bearing block as shown in 1601-DG-02-01. Remove the M36 cap
screw (1601-DG-02-01, Item 05) and rotate the link back (5-10) on the timbers. This
will provide a cushion and a guide for the Yoke Head installation.
2. The Yoke Head should be lowered into the Bearing Blocks with the Yoke in a level
position (+/-5). The Links and guides on the Thrust Plates (3214-DG-01-01, 3214-DG-
09-01) will serve as guides in positioning the Yoke Head.
3. Remove the Retaining Plates (1601-DG-01-01, Item 01) on the Bushing Carrier before
attempting to completely lower or rotate the Yoke. Make sure that the keyway in the
bushing carrier is facing straight up in the 12 oclock position. After the Retaining plates
are removed, the Yoke may be lowered into the water.
5.0 BEARING BLOCK ASSEMBLY AFTER OFFSHORE YOKE
INSTALLATION
1. Ensure that the Retaining Plates on the Yoke Head are removed before rotating the
Yoke. Make sure that the keyway in the bushing carrier is facing straight up in the 12
oclock position.
2. Coat the Bearing Block and Bearing Cap (3214-DG-01-01, Items 01 and 02) mating
surfaces (5 milled surface) with a thin coat of KOPR-KOTE Anti-Seize (1601-DG-02-
01, Item 06), and replace the Bearing Block Caps (make sure that they are orientated
correctly in the corresponding matched sets).
3. Remove the holding cap screw in the Links if not already removed and lower the Links
on the Bearing Blocks.
4. Ensure the Pin Caps (3214-DG-01-01, Item 06) are properly installed on the Links
(3214-DG-01-01, Items 03 and 04). If required lift the Caps into place on the Links with
a M36 eyebolt (1601-DG-02-01, Item 08). Center the caps on the Pin holes and fasten
with M24 x 75 long cap screws (3214-DG-01-01, Item 13) and washers (3214-DG-01-
01, Item 19). Torque to 597 N-m.
5. Lubricate the Pins (3214-DG-01-01, Item 07) and Pin holes with a thin coat of KOPR-
KOTE Anti-Seize (1601-DG-02-01, Item 06).
6. Ensure the Support Trays (1601-DG-02-01, Item 02) are assembled on the links with
M20 cap screws (1601-DG-02-01, Item 03) and washers (1601-DG-02-01, Item 04).
Ensure the height of the tray is set so that it will center the Pin on the Pin holes.
7. Using M42 eyebolts (1601-02-01, Item 09) in the M42 tapped hole, place the Pin on the
Support Tray so that the leading edge (with the chamfer) is pointed toward the hole.
8. Insert the Installation Rod (1601-DG-02-01, Item 01) through the Pin and thread it into
the Cap. Using a M36 nut (3214-DG-01-01, Item 15), washer (3214-DG-01-01, Item
17), and the Installation Rod as a jackscrew, pull the Pin into the hole until it seats
against the Cap. Use the flats on the end of the Rod to keep the Rod from rotating. If
the Pin binds, DO NOT force it: back it out, line it up and try again. The Pin does not
have a press fit.
1603-OM-0370
OFFSHORE YOKE HEAD ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 6 REVISION A
9. Remove the Installation Rod and the Support Tray.
10. Insert the Retaining Rod (3214-DG-01-01, Item 05) into the Pin and thread it into the
Cap. Place the washer (3214-DG-01-01, Item 17) on the Rod and thread the M36 nut
(3214-DG-01-01, Item 15) onto the Rod. Tighten to 2000 N-m.
11. Repeat Steps 5.5 5.10 for the remaining Pin.

COUPLER PIN INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 4 REVISION A

1.0 SCOPE
The objective of this procedure is to provide the recommended installation method for
installing a Coupler Pin into any U-J oint assembly. It also provides the recommended
procedure for Coupler Pin removal.
Notes:
This procedure requires that the Coupler Pin Bearings have been installed according
to bearing manufacturers standards (Appendix A).
This procedure requires that the Bearing bores are clean and completely free of any
lubricant. The Bearing bores may only be cleaned with alcohol.

screws to the value shown on the drawing. Ensure that the Hand Winch (Item 06) is
installed to the Winch Mount prior to being attached to the Clevis.
Lay the Coupler Pin in the Pin Box (Item 01) as far away from the Clevis as possible.
1603-OM-0379
COUPLER PIN INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 5 REVISION A

Place the Coupler Pin Guide (Item 03) on the end of the Coupler Pin that is next to the
Clevis. Ensure that the pilot diameter on the Coupler Pin Guide fits in the pilot bore in
the end of the Coupler Pin.
Screw a Shoulder Eye Bolt (Item 07) tightly up against the Coupler Pin Guide (Item
03) and screw it into the end of the Coupler Pin. Tighten the Shoulder Eye Bolt until it
locks the Pin Guide to the end of the Coupler Pin.
Slowly payout the hand winch wire rope into the U-joint Clevis. The wire rope and
spelter socket must not touch the inside diameter of the Clevis bearings. To do so will
damage the inside polymer surface of the bearing.
Connect the open spelter socket from the hand winch wire rope to the Shoulder Eye
Bolt (Item 07).
Support the loose end of the hand winch wire rope so that it does not touch the inside
diameter of the Clevis Bearing.

the drawing.
The Coupler Pin is now fully installed in the U-J oint.
4.0 COUPLER PIN REMOVAL PROCEDURE
Note:
1. The operator must completely understand this section of the procedure before
proceeding to remove a Coupler Pin.
2. The technique to remove a Coupler Pin that is described in this section of the
procedure can be used on any Coupler Pin in a U-J oint assembly, whether the Upper
or Lower U-J oint assembly.
3. The hand winch (Item 06) on Drawing 1601-DG-04-01 must be assembled and
installed on the Winch Mount prior to attach at the end of the Pin Box.
4.1 SAFETY
Before a Coupler Pin is removed, the weight of the U-J oint assembly components below
the Coupler Pin that is to be removed must be setting on the shop floor or otherwise safely
supported in some manner.
Before pulling the upper Coupler Pin from a U-J oint Assembly that is supported (hung)
from an overhead crane, the Coupler block must be supported so that as the Coupler Pin
is removed the Coupler block will not rotate (flip) over the lower Coupler Pin and injure
someone. This can be accomplished by wedging several wooden blocks between the
bottom of the Coupler block and the lower most clevis.
Reference Drawing: 3205-DG-01-02
This drawing is only used as an example.
Remove the M36 Nuts (Item 10) and Washers (Item 09) from each end of the Coupler
Pin (Item 05).
Remove the Coupler Pin Retainer (Item 06) from each end of the Coupler Pin (Item
05).
Remove the M36 studs (Item 08) from each end of the Coupler Pin.
1603-OM-0379
COUPLER PIN INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 7 REVISION A

Reference Drawing 1601-DG-04-01
Bolt the Pin Box (Item 01) to one side of the clevis from which the Coupler Pin is to be

3.0 BUSHING AND THRUST WASHER INSTALLATION
1. Lift the Bushing Carrier (3206, Item 03) and position it so that the Thrust Washer mating
surface is facing upward. Use the M20 eyebolts or M20 swivel hoist rings (shop
supplied) in the M20 handling holes (or use the M20 holes on the opposite side if
needed) for handling and lifting the Bushing Carrier. Make sure the ID of the Bushing
Carrier is clean and free of debris. Chase the (12x) M20 tapped holes, purge with air
and degrease to make sure that the threads are clean.
2. Lift the Bushing (3206, Item 04) with a spreader bar and clamps and slowly submerge
the Bushing completely in Liquid Nitrogen for at least one minute to contract the
Bushing. Measure the O.D. of the Bushing and verify that it is less than 560.0 mm
before insertion into the Bushing Carrier. If it fails to measure less than 560.0 mm, then
re-submerge the Bushing for a longer period of time and repeat the measurement.
Carefully insert the Bushing into the Bushing Carrier before it expands. Make sure that
the Bushing is completely seated against the shoulder of the Carrier. Reference the
bushing manufacturers guideline for freeze fitting, method 1 as attached in Appendix A.
3. Repeat Step 2 for the other Bushing.
4. Place the Thrust Washer (3206, Item 05) on the Bushing Carrier and align the
countersunk holes over the M20 tapped holes.
5. Thread the M20 stainless steel Flathead Capscrews (3206, Item 12) into the Carrier to
make sure that they will start and make sure that the Thrust Washer is positioned
correctly. Apply LOCTITE (3206, Item 13) to the threads and torque to 100 N-m.
6. Using M20 eyebolts or M20 swivel hoist rings in the M20 handling holes, lift the Bushing
Carrier into a horizontal position. Make sure that the Trunnion Sleeve is clean. Align
the bushing with the Trunnion Sleeve and slide the Carrier over the Sleeve. Be careful
not to damage the ID of the Bushing. Rotate the Carrier on the sleeve to align the
Retaining Plate (1601, Item 01) holes. Make sure Bushing Carrier is orientated so that
the key slot is facing upward when the Trunnion is in the horizontal position as shown in
1601-DG-01-01. Do NOT lubricate the bushing or thrust washer.
7. Place the Retaining Plate (1601, Item 01) on the Trunnion and Carrier and fasten with
M20 Capscrews and washers (1601, Item 02, 03) in order to keep the Carrier attached
to the Trunnion during shipment and installation.
8. Repeat Steps 3.4-3.7 for the other Bushing Carrier and Thrust Washer.

YOKE HEAD ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE 5 REVISION A
4.0 YOKE HEAD BEARING INSTALLATION
1. Remove the Bearing (3206, Item 01) from its packaging. Clean the Trunnion (3206,
Item 02) bearing mounting surface and remove any surface corrosion.
2. Rotate the bearing 360 in both directions to ensure smooth operation.
3. Chase the M64 tapped holes in the Trunnion and purge with air to make sure that the
threads are clean.
4. Position the Trunnion so that the bearing mounting surface is facing upward.
5. Place four 580 mm long, M64 studs (3206, Item 08) in the M64 tapped holes in the
Trunnion. They will serve as guide pins for the placement of the Bearing. Take care
not to damage the studs.
6. Place the Bearing (3206, Item 01) on the Trunnion by matching the pilots on each part
(Ref. Figure 1). Indicate the Bearing so that the Bolt holes are aligned. Align the 0
marks as indicated on 3206-DG-01-02. Use feeler gauges to ensure that the bearing
face is set completely flat (less than 0.20 mm gap) and centered on the Trunnion within
0.4 mm.
7. Thread the 580 mm long, M64 studs (3206, Item 08) into the Trunnion until they are full
seated. Set the studs so that they protrude above the bearing as shown on drawings
3206-01-01 or 3206-01-02.
8. Place the Washers (3206, Item 10) over the studs and thread the Nuts (3206, Item 09)
down hand tight.
9. Tension the M64 studs according to 3206-DG-01-02.
10. Install the Sap Caps filled with grease (3206, Item 14) on 36 x M64 studs (3206, Item
08).
11. Rotate the bearing 360 in both directions to ensure smooth operation.
12. Protect the tapped holes in the Yoke Structure mating surface with corrosion resistant
grease. Wrap the bearing in protective plastic for shipment.
5.0 YOKE HEAD TO YOKE STRUCTURE ASSEMBLY
5.1 HORIZONTAL ASSEMBLY
1. If the Trunnion and Bearing are to be mounted to the Bearing Support Ring (3206, Item
06) and yoke in the horizontal position, weld the alignment plates (150mm x 430mm x
30mm) onto the Bearing Support Ring to help locate the Bearing on the Bearing
Support Ring as shown on 1601-01-01.
2. Lift the Trunnion for horizontal assembly to the Yoke. Make sure that the bolt holes are
aligned. Set the Bearing onto the alignment plates flush with the Bearing Support Ring
do NOT put the full weight of the Trunnion onto the alignment plates. Thread the 530
mm long, M64 studs (3206, Item 07) completely into the Bearing and place the washers
and nuts (3206, Item 09 and 10) on the studs. The studs should not protrude out of the
Bearing Support Ring more than 150 mm.
3. Tension the studs according to 3206-DG-01-02. The full weight of the Trunnion may be
released after Tensioning Round #1 is accomplished.

6. If the Trunnion and Bearing are to be mounted to the Bearing Support Ring (3206, Item
06) in the vertical position, the alignment plates (150mm x 430mm x 30mm) are not
required. With the vertical assembly, a portion of the Yoke structure (at least the end
cone) must be welded to the bearing support ring before assembly. No welding near
the Bearing is permitted. All welding after the Bearing is assembled requires (3x)
grounding cables.
7. Lift the portion of the Yoke structure that is welded to the bearing support ring for
vertical assembly on the Bearing. Make sure that the bolt holes are aligned. Set the
bearing support ring onto the bearing so that the outer diameters of both parts are
concentric. Thread the 530 mm long, M64 studs (3206, Item 07) completely into the
Bearing and place the washers and nuts (3206, Item 09 and 10) on the studs. The
studs should not protrude out of the Bearing Support Ring more than 150 mm.
8. Tension the studs according to 3206-DG-01-02. Once the tensioning is complete, the
assembly may be fitted to the remaining Yoke structure.
9. Install the Sap Caps filled with grease (3206, Item 14) on 48 x M64 studs (3206, Item
07). The assembly is complete and ready for offshore installation.
